Labor day cookout

Our annual Labor day cookout was a ton of fun as usual. Courtney and Kristen both brought their baby fences and connected them for one large corral. It worked out very well and even the older kids liked being in it.

Our cousin's twins Gracie and Gavin were supposed to be bringing these beers to their dad but pretended to drink them on the way.

OK, dad's happy now that he has at least one of the beers.

Sophia had fun riding on her little atv. All the other kids had fun on it too.

Jill and Jackson. I can't believe Jill is a freshman in high school this year. She was 3 when I met her and it was probably at this very cookout.

Someone broke out the kites and the older kids attempted to fly them. They got frustrated and gave up so Maddie and Jackson wanted to try. I shortened the strings down and they just ran and ran and ran trying to get the kites in the air.

The only way Jill could get it to stay in the air was to spin around really fast and have the string about a foot long. But it made for a great photo!

Maddie and Jackson managed to get the kites to fly here and there.

Jackson was hugging Chase for some reason.

Then it was time for the egg toss. M&J didn't really play it. Maddie had already peed in her pants twice that day so I had no clothes to change her into if she got egg on her.
